1 Chronicles 5:11-22

The Descendants of Gad

11 And the sons of Gad lived near to them in the land of Bashan as far as Salecah:
12 Joel the chief, Shapham the second, Janai, and Shaphat in Bashan.
13 And their kinsmen according to their fathers' households: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber, seven.
14 These [were] the sons of Abihail the son of Huri, son of Jaroah, son of Gilead, son of Michael, son of Jeshishai, son of Jahdo, son of Buz.
15 Ahi son of Abdiel, son of Guni, [was] chief in their fathers' households.
16 And they lived in Gilead, in Bashan, and in {its towns}, and in all the pasturelands of Sharon to their limits.
17 All of them were enrolled in [the] genealogy in the days of Jotham, king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, king of Israel.
18 The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh [had] {valiant} men [who] carried a shield and a sword, and archers, and [who were] expert in war, forty-four thousand seven hundred and sixty [for] going out [as] an army.
19 And they made war against the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.
20 And they were helped against them, and the Hagrites and all who [were] with them were given into their hand, for they cried out to God in the battle, and he responded to their prayer because they trusted in him.
21 And they captured their livestock: fifty thousand of their camels; two hundred and fifty thousand sheep; two thousand donkeys; and one hundred thousand men alive.
22 For many [were] slain because the war was of God. And they lived under them until the exile.
